I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Cook. The Cooks were our next door neighbors when we were growing up in Broyhill Park for many years. I'll never forget how hard he worked to support his large family. He will suffer no longer. My sympathy is extended to this wonderful family and I'm sure they will be tremendous support for Mrs. Cook. Peace to all of you. Linda Hart

"Pat" (as he was known to his fellow Pepco employees) was my boss and friend. His guidance went far beyond what was required between a "boss" and his "employee" and has carried me well in the ensuing years. I will always be grateful to him and will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Barb Hals left a message on August 21, 2014:
Ann, I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Jack and Edie and your brothers, especially Chris, cheering us on during our games. You are always in my thoughts and prayers and most especially during this difficult time.
Janet Ice left a message on August 21, 2014:
Mike I am so sad to hear about your Father. We see our parents suffer and when they pass awary, I find comfort in knowing that they are no longer suffering and for sure they are in a better place that we are.

Dennis, God will definitely show you the way to smiling again. I know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with your father and all the love he gave you throughout the years. He is not gone. He will live in your heart forever. All my Love, Liz Durand
